parse-glob

parse-glob

Parse a glob pattern into an object of path parts.

Install with npm

npm i parse-glob --save

Usage

var parse = require('parse-glob');

// this is a nonsensical pattern, but it shows what this lib does
parse('a/b/{c,.gitignore,{a,b}}/{a,b}/*.foo.js');

Returns:

{ isGlob: true,
  pattern: 'a/b/{c,.gitignore,{a,b}}/{a,b}/*.foo.js',
  dirname: 'a/b/{c,.gitignore,{a,b}}/{a,b}/',
  filename: '*.foo.js',
  basename: '*',
  extname: '.foo.js',
  ext: 'js',

  // detects when a glob pattern intentionally 
  // specifies dotfiles or dot directories (e.g. './.git/')
  dotfiles: false,
  dotdirs: false }

See the tests for hundreds of examples.
